PIXEL Peace

While digitalization offers great opportunities for learning, research and also personal development there are also downsides to it. One of these and definitely the one with the highest potential of harming stundents (and sometimes teachers) – cyberbullying. Our project aims at learning more about the partners’ approaches to fight cyberbullying, compare the different national and local concepts and discuss strenth and weaknesses. The starting point of all our considerations is the idea that peer education plays a crucial role in the fight against cyberbullying – one pixel at a time!

Peer teaching: Fight Cyberbullying

Based on the principle of peer teaching, the concept of training students to qualify in informing fellow students how to fight cyber-bullying is introduced to the group of teachers by three of our experts: Hannah, Caroline and Hannah!

If we talk about bullying and cyberbullying in particular, a large number of students have been affected, either because they have become victims of online harrassment or maybe because they have been on the side of the bullies. So it is no surprise that students rather take advice from other students than from teachers, parents or counsellors. And thus this is the basic idea of our peer-teaching workshop against cyber-bullying!

Workshop: Stop Cyberbullying

During our project meeting in Jakobstad we had a great workshop with Jennifer Dalgren and Nathalie Wingren to inform and train the teachers how to fight cyberbullying.

Working with survey results

Campaign ads: Using AI to create anti-bulling posters

The students did a great job to design their own campaigns against cyber-bullying! While the analysis and interpretation of the survey results is a very rational process, the fight against unfair treatment and harrassement at school also has to appeal to the learners in an emotional way. A creative task may help to tranfer the very theoretical findings onto a more personal level.
